Genetic Testing for Cancer
Genetic testing for cancer is the process of analyzing a person's genes for mutations that are associated with increased cancer risk. Genetic testing can be used to identify genetic mutations that may be associated with inherited cancer syndromes and to determine a patient’s risk of developing certain types of cancer. By understanding a person's genetic risk, healthcare providers can better personalize screening and treatment strategies, helping to provide the best possible care for each patient. Genetic testing for cancer is also important for screening close relatives of those diagnosed with an inherited cancer, enabling them to take proactive steps to reduce their risk of cancer.
